Archive the MixedNamespaceSearchSuggestions extension
Closed, ResolvedPublicRequest

Description

Reason
Does not work with the new search box in Vector. I am not using it anywhere anymore, and I am not aware of anyone else using it. Can't check WikiApiary because it's not working.

I am the author of the extension.

To-do list

  • This task
    • Add maintainers of that extension/skin as subscribers to this task (if they have no apparent Phabricator account, notify them on-wiki or via email if possible and note it here).
    • Add Phabricator project <#ProjectX> as a tag for this task, and remove MediaWiki-extensions-Other/Other-skins as appropriate.
  • On-wiki documentation
    • Archive documentation on mediawiki.org (provide URL): replace page contents with {{Archived extension|last revision id before archiving|task=T######}} (for extensions)/{{Archived skin|last revision|task=T######}} (for skins); replace T###### with this task's number.
    • If documentation page was translatable, remove <translate>, visit Special:PageTranslation, and click "remove from translation" (if you don't have the translation administrator right, ask a user who does).
    • Update Wikidata item (provide URL) associated with documentation page
      • add statement Abandonware (Q281039) to instance of (P31) together with qualifier start time (P580) = the YYYY-MM-DD date that you decided to archive extension/skin (generally per edit history)
      • add qualifier end time (P582) = the YYYY-MM-DD (same date as above) to instance of (P31) = MediaWiki extension (Q6805426)/MediaWiki skin (Q21996535)
  • Phabricator
    • Mark all Phabricator tasks for the extension/skin either Declined or Invalid. Add a comment pointing to this task when doing so for reference.
    • Archive Phabricator project <#ProjectX> for the extension/skin.
    • Edit Phabricator project <#ProjectX> description for the extension/skin with a link to this ticket.
  • Translatewiki.net/translations
  • Configuration/tests/integrations/etc.
  • Repositories

Event Timeline

@Nikerabbit Miraheze is using it. Do you know someone from there who we can let know that extension will be (probably) archived?

There is a box:

This extension is included in the following packages and/or wiki farms:
Miraheze
This is not an authoritative list. Some wiki farms/hosts may contain this extension even if they are not listed here. Always check with your wiki farms/hosts or bundle to confirm.

So that's why I said that we should let them know about this. Maybe it's not used on the whole farm.

Miraheze finally undeployed this (they had a since-resolved governance crisis shortly after this task was filed, which is why it tool so long)
